Sofra

I Sofra inviterer Rukiye Benli dig med hjem i sit køkken – med et farverigt mix af retter fra barndommens tyrkiske køkken og moderne retter. Opskrifterne spænder fra nemme hverdagsretter og hyggelig weekendmad til små snacks. Bogen er en hyldest til de smage og minder, der har præget Rukiye Benlis barndomskøkken – en kærlighedserklæring til det enkle tyrkiske bondekøkken. Her finder du både klassiske tyrkiske retter og nye kreationer, hvor essentielle ingredienser fra det tyrkiske og mellemøstlige køkken møder råvarer fra andre verdensdele. Resultatet er enkle og inspirerende opskrifter, der skaber spændende smagskombinationer og forener tradition med en moderne tilgang. Kogebogen er inddelt i kapitler for hverdagsretter, weekendmad, snacks og søde sager samt opskrifter til de særlige øjeblikke, hvor man laver mad kun til sig selv. RUKIYE BENLI har med sine tyrkiske og danske rødder formået at forene tyrkisk madkultur med skandinavisk minimalisme og æstetik. Hun har tidligere udgivet Mit tyrkiske køkken og sætter nu med sin nye udgivelse fuldt fokus på en af Mellemøstens store kulinariske perler, sofra.
